The power-on output state is the state that a C Series output module is in when power is applied to the module. You cannot configure the power-on output state.
Note Refer to the module documentation on ni.com/docs for information about the power-on output state for your module.

C Series analog output modules have a Hot Swap Behavior feature that allows you to configure the state of the output channels when the module is removed and reinserted.

The startup output state is the state that a CompactRIO channel is in after you load and run an FPGA VI that communicates with the output module. You can configure startup output states.

Configuring Startup Output States

Use the FPGA I/O Node analog or digital output options to change startup output states. You can develop the FPGA VI so that the output function executes when the FPGA VI starts running.

Understanding Output States

Table 21. Output Channel States
Action State of the Output Channels
The chassis with the module powers on. Power-on output state
An FPGA VI loads. Startup output state
An Invoke Method function configured with the Abort method executes on the host VI. Power-on output state

A Close FPGA VI Reference function that is configured to Close and Reset executes.

Close and Reset is the default action for the Close FPGA VI Reference function.

You click the Abort button on the host VI or select Operate»Stop while LabVIEW is targeted to an FPGA device and the FPGA VI is running with Interactive Front Panel Communication. Last output value
You remove and reinsert one of the following modules: NI 9476, NI 9477, or NI 9478. Power-on output state
You remove and reinsert one of the following modules and the FPGA VI is not loaded: NI 9263, NI 9264, NI 9265, NI 9269. Power-on output state
You remove and reinsert one of the following modules and the FPGA VI is loaded, but not running: NI-9263, NI-9264, NI-9265, NI-9269. Power-on output state
You remove and reinsert one of the following modules and the FPGA VI is loaded and running: NI-9263, NI-9264, NI-9265, NI-9269. User-configurable

You remove and reinsert one of the following modules: NI-9375, NI-9401, NI-9402, NI-9403, NI-9472, NI-9474, NI-9475, NI-9481 or NI-9485.

NI recommends that you do not replace a module that is a different type with one of these modules after the FPGA VI is loaded. Replacing a module that is a different type than the module with which you are replacing it after the FPGA VI is loaded can place the output channels in an undefined or unexpected state.
